Reflection: 13th April 2019
Tomorrow is Tamil New Year. My sister sent me wishes through what's app along with a photo which was taken in her pooja room. It has been decorated with lamp and flowers. Also, she had kept so many things like variety of fruits, grains, nuts, coins, rupees, jewels etc. Tomorrow morning, she will go eyes closed in front of the altar and open her eyes and look at those objects as first sight. She called and reminded me too to do the same thing today. Make arrangements today itself so that morning we will wake up and see these wonderful things.
Actually once upon a time, me too had been doing such things. Now, I just smile at them. I wrote a reply message to her.
It all looks wonderful, Bhanu. But one important thing is missing.
Keep a book of wisdom along with these objects. With out wisdom, they will not give you peace, freedom and joy which we really want in life.
We hope that these objects will bring that great joy to us, so we want to acquire them. But, the real means is, wisdom. We have forgotten to include it in our life. That's why we are suffering in spite of wealth and prosperity.
Its not too late. First day of the year has just begun. Start reading one page of wisdom literature, songs of saints and gnanis. They are real treasures. Keep it in the centre of life. Then, everything will follow you.
